Chapter 634.2: Divine Sea (1/2)

Sword intent as weighty as heaven and earth radiated from Dongfang Hao.

Lu Yun had the suffocating feeling that he faced not the man nor his sword, but the entire world. Expression grave, he held the axe and the spear and stared coldly at Dongfang Hao.

There seemed to be a barrier wrapped tight around him, isolating him from the outside world. Lu Yun’s attacks weren’t able to even touch him.

Hum!

After an indiscernible period of time, a giant sword slowly materialized from the air: the Sword of Chaos in its true form.

“Die!!” Dongfang Hao took flight again. With a powerful battle cry, he swung the heavy sword at Lu Yun from above, as if he wielded the very world.

Giant sword looming in his sights, Lu Yun felt as small as an ant, helpless as heaven and earth rushed up to crush him.

“So you’ve got a world, do you?” He took a deep breath and somehow, time seemed to slow around him.

Swoosh!

The spear in his hand flared with a strange color as time slowed down in a nine meter radius around him. The world sought to crush Lu Yun, but the protective vacuum around him knocked it back.

This was a defense of Time Reincarnation.

The axe in Lu Yun’s other hand exploded in power as well, and he suddenly vanished. When he next appeared, he’d teleported above Dongfang Hao’s head.

“Cut!” Lu Yun boomed like a thunder clap, bolts of silver lightning running wild around him.

Dongfang Hao’s face turned beet red. He reached out and grabbed the falling axe and spear, allowing the lightning to tear into him.

“Hahahaha!” he burst into hearty laughter. “I underestimated you this time, Lu Yun. I didn’t expect you to possess such strange lightning. The next time we meet, I will kill you!”

True killing intent had only now arisen in his heart. Before Lu Yun could respond, Dongfang Hao’s body disintegrated into ashes and scattered on the wind. He hadn’t come here in his true form, after all.

Rumble.

As Dongfang Hao’s body fell, so did the minor world collapse into faint spots of light before fading away.

Lu Yun fell to the ground, panting heavily as the silver lightning around him dissipated completely.

Qing Yu walked out of the barrier of the three immortal fires. She wasn’t feeling too well, either. The minor world created by the shard of immortal dao had been deployed to deal with her, and it’d successfully taken a great toll. Fortunately, the Embittered Bamboo was within her body, which she could deploy as a replica at any time.

With a wave of her hand, a soul seed appeared in her palm. Dongfang Hao had somehow planted one in the midst of that battle. With her replica, however, she was now able to discern anything unusual about her condition. Thus, she hadn’t been distracted by the events happening in the minor world and had fished out the foreign intruder before it could take root.

……

“That sword...” Qing Yu came up to Lu Yun and replenished his inner energy with hers. “Is it really a sword of the divine race?”

Lu Yun gave her a curious look. “What did you notice?”

“I read the immortal dao within the sword. It... shouldn’t be a weapon of the divine race, but of immortal dao,” she said with a frown. “It won’t revitalize the divines, just incorporate them into the immortal dao itself.”

Lu Yun stared in blank confusion.

“Dongfang Hao first brought Wu Tulong, Mo Qitian, and Zi Chen to heel, turning them into his sword divines. Then he keeps going after you...” Lu Yun mused. “Even if it’s a sword of the immortal dao, Dongfang Hao must be planning to rule over the immortal dao as its new master.”

Qing Yu nodded quietly.

Moonlight shone upon a peaceful world, as if nothing had taken place at all; the epic clash had attracted no attention. The minor world Dongfang Hao had brought with him imitated the properties of a seed storage. It blended into the world like air, invisible and untraceable.
